I started off building precision 22RF trainers by getting a Stiller 2500XR action, doing the machine work on my very 1st 22RF bbl (Krieger sendero blank), and putting it into a surplus Manners T4A stock leftover from EuroOptics' run of custom built "Ultimate Trainers" that they hired built for sale. I was really wanting one until I saw the price, which if IIRC was around $4300...after I choked on the price, I decided to build one myself, and so put one together and started shooting it in semi-local PRS-type 22RF matches. Really enjoyed the way it shot & functioned - everything but trying to hit the hidden magazine chute, which was out of sight up into the mag well. Hadn't any more than finished it when I found out about MIke's conversion to use his prototype V-22 mags, so sent off the CMP 40X in the photo with the Stiller to have Jonathan do the repeater conversion. When I got that action back from jelrod, I did a Benchmark 3-groove bbl for it, with the same EPS reamer I'd used on the 2500's Krieger, and put it into the B&C stock pictured. That rifle was an eye-opener - very good shooter, and a big improvement in quick 'n easy mag changes compared to the Stiller action.
I liked this 40X so much that I sold the 2500XR, and sent a CMP 40XB action off to jelrod for the same conversion, and then put a Krieger on it when it came back. It also went into a Manners T4A stock, with another Jewell HVR trigger, which I'd also used on the 1st 40X. These two rifles would've served me perfectly well for as long as I live, but when Mike & VGW brought out the Vudoo repeater, I had to have one, so sold the 40X and bought an action, which I built into my 1st V22, and still have it, along with the jelrod-converted 40XB.
